23Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn`t destroy them.
24Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn`t believe his word,
25But murmured in their tents, And didn`t listen to the voice of Yahweh.
26Therefore he swore to them That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27That he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
28They joined themselves also to Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
